object in the universe. It connects electrochemical impulses of sensory organs
to memories stored in the brain to create realities. ● When realities are in synch with the things the

discussions between Rabbi Jeffrey Leynor
and Jim Myers about the ancient
wisdom principles and values embedded in the Hebrew texts of the first creation
account in Genesis. Genesis 1 Part 1 consists of eight very short videos that cover
the first four days of creation. They have been posted on Facebook, but you do
not have to be a Facebook member to watch them. When you click on the play

The
cover of the September/October 2018 issue of MIT Technology Review has – Technology
is threatening our democracy. How do we save it? and The “neuropolitics” consultants who hack voter’s brains. If you
have been in any of our TOV Center discussions over the past few years, this isn’t
“breaking news.” We have been talking about the pressing need for Americans to develop
skills required to make clear distinctions between “free speech” and “weaponized
memes.” The
authors of the articles in this issue of MIT
Technology Review provide some very good information about how to make
those distinctions and develop the skills to protect yourself and your loved
ones. Below are a few quotes: The problem is
that when we encounter opposing views in the age and context of social media, it’s
